Country-style chicken with apple

Peasant-style chicken with apple is a dish that combines traditional flavors and fruity touches to create a comforting and delicious culinary experience. This dish has its roots in the rural areas of Mexico, where fresh and accessible ingredients were the basis of daily cooking. The recipe reflects the fusion of indigenous techniques with Spanish influences, especially in the use of spices like curry, which, although originally from India, has been adapted in many Latin American cuisines to give a special twist to preparations.

In other Latin American countries, this dish can be found with similar names or variations, such as "Pollo campesino" in Colombia or "Chicken with apple and curry" in some regions of Central America. The inclusion of the apple gives it a sweet touch that perfectly contrasts and complements the spicy flavor of the curry and the soft texture of the chicken.

How to Make Peasant-Style Chicken with Apple

Place the curry powder in a wide skillet and stir over medium heat until it takes on a slightly darker color.

Add the apple, onion, lemon juice, mushrooms, broth, and 1 1/2 cups of apple juice.

Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil.

Rinse the chicken and dry it with paper towels.

Add it to the skillet.

Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the meat is no longer pink.

Transfer the chicken to a platter and keep it warm.

In a small bowl, mix the flour and the remaining 1/2 cup of apple juice.

Gradually add it to the sauce in the skillet, stirring constantly, and cook until the sauce thickens.

Pour it over the chicken.

Garnish with chives and sour cream or yogurt.

Serve over rice.
